To LU whom it may concern.'

Be it known that. I, WILLIAM HAsLUP, a citizen of tbe United States, and a resident of Sidney, in the county of Shelby and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Wheelbarrows, of which the following is a specification.

The object of my invention is to provide a strong durable Wheelbarro W, the features of which will be fully set forth in the description of the accompanying drawings, making a part of this specification, in whieh- Figure lis a side elevation of my improved Wheelbarrow. Fig. 2 is a perspective View of my improvement.

l represents the ground-wheel; 2, the side legs and arm, formed of gas-pipe bentto the form of the different parts. The pipe is [iattened, preferably, to form at 3 a base for the U-shaped legs 4.

5 represents a cross-piece rigidly bolted to the sides, to Which the bottom of the barrow G is bolted by screw-bolts 7.

8 represents front braces bolted to the legs and to the body at the front end, so as to strengthen and support the same. The body 9 is preferably made of sheet-stcel bent. to the desired form of tray or body.

10 represents braces the tops of which are bolted to the bottom of the tray or body and the bottom to the U -shaped legs, thereby forming a strong lateral brace. The X form of bracing the legs to the opposite side of the tray, as shown in Fig. 2, prevents any tendency of the handles to twist in the act of dumping, which is very common in Wheelbarrows. It also prevents the tendency of twisting the legs, which serve as a pivot in the act of dump ing and receive all the strain.

The handles are stiffened by an additional brace ll, to which the body 9 is likewise bolted at the rear end, thereby forming a very stron g but light barrow made of metal, so as to be very durable and adapted for use in foundries, machine-shops, mines, and for other similar purposes.

Having described my invention, what I claim is* In a Wheelbarrow, the sides, legs, and haudles formed of gas-pipe and having the legs connected to the tray by diagonally-arranged braces 9 and l0, which cross each other centrally between the legs, substantially as described.

In testixnony whereof I have hereunto set my hand.

WILLIAM HASLUP.
